Bremen

Bremen is the city of short distances – between places and people. The startup-ecosystem is strongly connected with the local industry. Bremen is also home to notable Research Institutes like DFKI and Fraunhofer IFAM.

Regional Hubs

Bremen, 550.000 inhabitants, has a number of local startup-hubs: The „Überseestadt“, harbor city, is the vibrant heart of the startup-ecosystem with the highest startup-density in Bremen. Other hotspots are Neustadt and Viertel, especially for creativity and arts, and the Technologiepark near University Bremen with technology-oriented startups.

Sectoral Focus of the Startup Ecosystem

Bremen’s startup ecosystem is strongly connected with the local industry (aerospace, maritime industry & logistics, automotive, wind energy), so B2B is one focus. Another one is the creative sector.

Bremen is also home to notable Reseach Institutes like DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence), Fraunhofer IFAM (Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials) or the LEMEX (Small Businesses and Entrepreneurship).
